That Wimbledon dial is growing on me. The more I see it the more I like it!

This was my first Rolex from six years ago (DJII) and I have never grown tired of the blue look. I definitely suggest blue, fluted, and whichever bracelet you prefer - both are terrific.

Of course this one with the fluted bezel and TT Jubilee bracelet. A killer.

Smart move to wait for the blue dial. The Wimbledon dial looks good, I think it would look even better if the 9 marker was the same as the other markers.

Wimbledon is just ugly. Red-headed stepchild action.

I would go blue.

I had the Wimbledon.

I struggled to read it at times, and absolutely HATED how it looked in the dark.

Gotta weigh in as well. If you are doubting between these two, why not blue with romans? That is so much more sexy than stick imho. I personally however went for the Wimbledon. The slate dial is such a versatile colour. In light it had the best texture which just grabs hour attention. The green of the romans are stunning in light. When it gets dark, the watch gets a whole new look. It is like having 2 watches in 1.

Guy in my office just bought the Wimbledon
2 tone with RG, oyster strap. It’s perfect.

Yeah both are nice but I decided to wait for the BLUE. I need BLUE in my collection.

Blue is my first choice and the one that I asked to be on the waiting list from my AD, so I am sticking with that or I may regret it. Thank you for the advice guys.

I bought 3 rolex already in less than 2 months. Milgauss is my first, bought it on June 22nd this year, YM second and Sub 3rd. I have no regret with Milly, I like it. I also like the YM, but now that I have Sub I feel like the YM is too grey and too plain lol (I am afraid I would feel the same way with the wimbledon, which is another reason I should wait for the blue).

Btw this hobby is kind of additive LOL.

That’s my favorite, and the one I have!
Jubilee and fluted bezel seem too busy for me! Blue dial, smooth bezel and jubilee is the perfect combo DJ41 for me!

With that collection, definitely wait for blue. Also you have smooth and Oyster covered. Go for blu-flu-jub.

You're wasting your time!

You've already said you are waiting for blue 3 times, but people won't read the thread, they will still just read the title and post.

Just wait and see.....

I personally would get the blue, hands-down. Current availability suggests that the blue is also more popular. However, you should get whichever one you like best, and if it's the blue then you should wait. In ten years, it won't matter which you got first -- only which one you liked better.

Blue! In the sun it really pops. You can buy the oyster band at AD to give it another look. I’ve got both bands (jubilee/oyster) and love them both.

I also prefer the smooth bezel on the blue with the jubilee or SS.
